Decent enough stay fairly central. Staff initially appeared a bit rude but got better the longer we were there. Heater didn't work properly in my room but provided an electric heater so that warmed up room nicely. Wouldn't mind staying again

The hotel is located in a traditional tall building overlooking a stretch of water. On the other side one could see various modern buildings. The area around the hotel is quite pleasant with a cycle track running in front of the hotel as well as a road. The "nieuwmarkt" area is within walking distance and here one can find many restaurants and cafes. The condition of the hotel is good but the stairs are steep which is to be expected in such an old building. Breakfast was available for an extra 17.5 EUR.

We took a restricted view room in the basement which was much better than expected. The room was a good size and had everything we needed including a fridge. The bed was king size plus and very comfortable. The buffet breakfasts was excellent.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The entire property feels rundown and poorly maintained, giving the impression that it hasn’t been cared for in a long time. The layout of the building is confusing and impractical — more like a badly designed rabbit warren than a comfortable hotel. This place is definitely not suitable for families or elderly guests, as the stairs are extremely steep and narrow, making it difficult to move around safely or carry luggage. The room itself was also underwhelming. The bed was made up of two single mattresses pushed together instead of a proper double, and they constantly shifted apart during the night, leaving an uncomfortable gap in the middle. The mattresses felt like cheap foam, similar to budget IKEA beds, and provided very little support or comfort. The bathroom was in particularly poor condition — water-stained, damaged, and generally unappealing. It clearly needed a thorough renovation, as the fixtures and tiles were old and worn, giving the whole space an unhygienic feel. The only positive aspect of the stay was the hotel’s location. It’s conveniently close to the train station and within walking distance of the city center, which makes getting around quite easy. Overall, while the location is great, the hotel itself is in dire need of renovation, better maintenance, and more attention to guest comfort. I would not recommend staying here unless major improvements are made.
